DASTARDLY OUTRAGE
MURDER AND PLUNDER PASSENGERS. (United Press Association.—By Electric Telegraph.—Copyright.) (Received this day at ,9.25 a.m) SHANGHAI, September 27. A most dastardly outrage is reported from Peking as the result of a bandit attack on a passenger train on the railway. The bandit gang removed the rails across a bridge, plunging the engine and five coaches into a creek thirty feet below. Following the derailment the bandits savagely attacked the passengers, slaughtering thirty including the train staff, and British, Russian and Hindu passengers, and ruthlessly driving the other passengers into the country. The b.indits systematically looted the train, decamping and leaving behind a terrible scene of carnage and destruction. . . •
